Enabling Autofill
Turning on autofill in the Delinea Mobile app makes logging in easier and faster. This feature automatically fills in your credentials, enhancing both convenience and security.
To enable Delinea Mobile to autofill credentials for apps and websites:
Complete Delinea Mobile's biometric unlock before you attempt to autofill values from Delinea Mobile.
After completing the above steps, the app searches your secrets for:
- Browser web site: It looks for secrets with matching Domain values in the URL.
- Other mobile application: It searches for secrets with names or URL values matching the name of the mobile application you're trying to fill.
You can also choose to manually modify the search value and run it again. Once the system returns the list of secrets, you can select which one you want to use. The autofill service will then fill those credentials in the related username and password fields.
Currently the autofill service supports only the username and password fields.
Autofill for Delinea Mobile on Android Devices
Delinea Mobile offers a strong autofill feature to simplify user interactions. However, you should consider certain factors, especially regarding Android versions, vendors, and browser compatibility. Since Android 13, Google has introduced battery optimizations that affect autofill functionality on specific web browser apps. You may experience variations in autofill behavior on Android versions 13 and higher. Additionally, different vendor implementations may impact how Delinea Mobile autofill works.
To address these Chrome autofill challenges, we recommend you set a different browser as your device's default. Choose an alternative browser on your device, and once configured, you will see autofill perform as expected when launching a web secret in the Delinea Mobile app.
Browser Compatibility
To ensure a seamless autofill experience, use supported browsers like Firefox or DuckDuckGo. These browsers leverage Android's native autofill services, providing more reliable compatibility with Delinea Mobile's autofill functionality.
Setting this will ensure that when you use a different browser, it opens automatically without conflicting with the system default.
